This creamy and healthy 2 ingredient sweet potato chocolate mousse is silky, dairy-free, and melts in your mouth like truffles. It is a No cream, no sugar, no fuss—just sweet potato and dark chocolate!
Ingredients
1 cup mashed roasted sweet potato
- about 1 medium sweet potato
- ¾ to 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate around 150–175g
Optional (to taste):
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch sea salt
- Dash cinnamon or espresso powder
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey if you want it sweeter
Instructions
Step 1 – Roast the Sweet Potato:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and poke 1 sweet potato with a fork,
- Wrap in foil, and roast for 45–50 minutes until caramelized and soft.
- Cool, peel, and mash until smooth to get 1 cup mashed roasted sweet potato. (You can do this in advance.)
Step 2 – Melt the Chocolate:
- In a heat-safe bowl, melt ¾ to 1 cup dark chocolate either in the microwave (20-second bursts) or over a double boiler.
- Stir until silky and smooth.
- Optional: Stir in vanilla extract, sea salt, or other flavorings at this stage.
Step 3 – Mix & Blend:
- Add the mashed sweet potato into melted chocolate.
- Use a spatula to mix
- Blend using a hand blender or food processor until thick and creamy like mousse.
- Tip: If the mix is too thick, add 1 tbsp warm almond or coconut milk. Taste and adjust sweetness with maple syrup if needed.
Step 4 – Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon mousse into jars, ramekins, or dessert cups.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours or overnight for best texture.
Notes
Roast your sweet potatoes in advance and keep them in the fridge — it’ll save time and give your mousse a deep caramel flavor. Also, don’t over blend or add too much liquid; the mousse needs to stay thick to set well!
